The brightest stars are those who shine for the benefit of others

Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.

“It’s not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters.”

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past as that will only cause unnecessary resentment.

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” 

“Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.”

“A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.”

“Seek respect, not attention. It lasts longer.”

“Success is not only for the elite. Success is there for those who want it, plan for it, and take action to achieve it.”

“Don’t go through life, grow through life.”

“The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.”
